Just got home from a night out with wifey and a couple of friends. We went to a local bar and got a table. You know how some bars/clubs will just have random videos or cartoons projected onto a wall? Well this place had that going on and then allot a sudden I look up and the cartoon is some maaaad old black and white joint with these sambo characters eating watermelon and throwing cotton at each other. I immediately got up and found one of the wait staff and asked them why they were playing racist cartoons. She said she would ask and talked to the manager. The manager ran up to the DJ booth and made him take it off. I went over to the booth and she came down and apologized but she said she had no idea why that was up there. That they get random videos and cartoons to play on the projector and she was very apologetic. I told her that I wasn't blaming her, but that it was extremely racist and offensive. I went outside and straight up broke into tears with the mix of anger and frustration. Mind you I was a good 6-7 drinks in and a little bent but for some reason all that anger got me mad emotional. I just needed to walk it off. My wide came outside and was talking to me but she was sitting facing away from the wall and never saw the cartoon. I tried to explain it to her but we were both kinda bent and I don't think she got it. I went back in eventually and just told our friends that we were leaving but I'm still in shock. I'm not gonna file a lawsuit but I almost feel like it would be justified and I feel like going back tomorrow to talk to the bar's owner or manager to try to make sense of why them or their DJ thought that would be OK to put on blast? I just can't make sense of it but maybe it's the liquor talking.
EDIT: leaving the story up as is for lulz but seeing it all sober now, this should be a lesson to everybody: Do NOT drink and post.
